Abstract
Radiological recognition of tuberculosis in children ist uncommon as the initial lesions are occult. The appearances of our last 12 cases of renal TB have been tabulated. When the condition becomes radiologically evident the bladder is usually involved and the lesions can be detected ultrasonically. Ultrasonography as a primary method of diagnosis is described.
